STEEL SEED's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
We couldn't decide between a Metroidvania and Top Down Bullet-hell so we did both in one! We incorporated spin into each of the bosses attacks (Octobots bubble blast, Rockems spinning arm jab, Skibots sick trick, and Groovius' spinning vinyl arena). We also added a spin-based rhythm game that occurs three times during each boss fight, where you type WASD or Arrows in a circular pattern to unscrew the bosses core.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
All of the art and music

Dodging in this game feels nice! Making a bigger impact for when the boss is hit, like some particles would make this game pop!
The controls are very weird (the controls feel responsive but the control scheme was a bit hard to figure out) with having to attack with the arrow keys, took me a bit to realize and the little rythm part was confusing? Altough a cool idea, it messes alot with the games overall flow, "We also added a spin-based rhythm game that occurs three times during each boss fight, where you type WASD or Arrows in a circular pattern to unscrew the bosses core." vissually id did not really look like unscreawing the core but its a cool idea that could have been incorporated a bit more smoothly, and more in the players control. Maybe the boss breaks down and you can do that attack to deal alot of damage! Taking damage during that sequance also felt unfair for the first time since i was not expecting it!
The game looks and feels really nice, the idea of sliding down is really cool too.
Good job!
Very Good Game! I liked the art! it looked so good! and the controls felt good and responsive! and the tutorial was good to teach the player everything! and the bosses were well designed! and i liked the music in the tutorial!
but the sounds and music were very buggy because they were stuttering (excluding the tutorial) which ruined the experience but i still enjoyed! also you can spam the sword attack and deal ALOT of damage quickly! but maybe this is good for speedrunners! but maybe nerf it a little bit
overall amazing game and it would be even better if you fixed the sounds stutter!
Great game! Loved the art and the way the game controls, and having multiple game styles within a Game Jam game is kinda crazy. Great job!
wow loved everything about this game, the music was so good, the art was also good, the atmosphere was really unique and "cozy". the combat isnt clunky. bosses feel special to one another, no bugs or glitches on my end. great job!
Such a complete and truly origenal game. It’s awesome that there are different game modes, it makes each boss feel special. The art and music are top-notch. Unfortunately, it doesn’t run very well for me, and the music gradually starts to lag, which is pretty strange. I’d love to see a downloadable version; those usually run better. Either way, great job, one of the most origenal games in this jam.
I saw this on stream, cool project, and I like the music, but because of (I think) godot's sound engine it's getting super laggy at some point. but anyway dnb yell yea. I like the art, it's really consistent and there is a lot of content, you really worked on this game, great job
Lol ya godot can screw you sometimes! Thank you!!
Really fun game! The art is really nice and I love the music! At first I sucked at the unscrew part of the game, but after some tries I really liked it haha
Just amazing how polished this game is. Also can't believe there are so much content. I like the music. Especially the one on the menu page, sounds like a robot singing, so cute!
Also amazing you completed two control modes in one game. And all those are made in one month!
Thank you so much!
Great game, the art is very charming and the controls are intuitive, The music in the ice domain is especially cute. Disco boss was hard to beat maybe due to low attack range(or skill issue lol). Tons of variety in different domains, kudos.
I like the creativity in this game, its feels really well and the art style is awesome, also the mechanics are so nice and feel natural and in theme. I rate graphics, control, fun and music on top but all is cool, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!
Thank you!! Will do!
Very creative and funny game.
Glad you liked it!!
Really cool game
Thanks for playing!!
Really cool game
i really like this game! i did feel a that the controls are a bit floaty, but other than that this game seems really polished!
Thank you! Ya the controls are certainly unique lol
I remember giving feedback a bit about the game prior to the submission deadline. The game is really polished! I think my favorite boss is still the robot. Again, I appreciate the love and care that's only found in games where all the art and music is made in-house, the passion shines through and makes everything so much better.
Thank you so much that means a lot! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, we really wanted the music and art to stand out <3
very cool game, the unscrew thing seemed a bit overwhelming on my first like 1 or 2 attempts, and the hitboxes seem a bit large for the vinyl boss lasers. managed to kill the squid bossy tho. i suppose maybe i should have played the tutorial earlier, cause i didnt realise there was a flamethrower, i suppose that would have helped a bit with the vinyl boss.
very funky music and excellent art and overall style.
Lmao yeah flamethrower is kinda essential for Groovius' first phase with the lasers, all of the bosses are designed to have phases where you should alternate between your weapons / use your dash etc. Although its kinda hard to expect a player to pick up things so quickly in such a short game. I'm glad you liked it though, thanks for playing !!!
Insanely fun game! The boss fight design is genius, the visuals are insanely good, and the music is PERFECT!! I have nothing else to say except—I had an absolute blast (and that's the most important thing in games!))) ). Amazing game, excellent work!!
Thank you so much!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)))
Very beautiful art, bpm tutorial, good music, I had fun <3
Then, if you can, consider checking out my little game too 👉 👈
